Asking written and oral questions to the government in Parliament is what type of control?

Correct answer: Informational and accountability-based control

Correct answer: A. Parliamentary questions require ministers to provide information about government decisions, policies, spending, administration, and implementation. Written questions receive written replies, while oral questions may be followed by supplementary questions that seek clarification. This gives legislators facts and allows them to examine whether the executive is working properly. It also informs the public because questions and answers can bring government actions into open discussion. This is called informational and accountability-based control: information is demanded first, and responsibility is examined through the answer. B is wrong because asking a question is not a judicial punishment. C is wrong because parliamentary questioning is not an election campaign. D is unrelated to scrutiny of the executive. Memory cue: Questions make the government explain.
